Heights defers gambling vote by Jeff Vorva staff reporter

Salute to Old Glory The Crusaders Council of the Knights of Columbus presents the flag at last Thursday’s Salute to Old Glory on the Palos Park Village Green. More than 200 people showed up for the event, which featured American songs performed by the Southwest Community Concert Band and a few speeches about the importance of the American Flag on the eve of Flag Day. For more scenes from the Salute to Old Glory, see Page 4.

that giving this hot topic a little more time to consider is good for the eight-member council. In any tie vote of the eight aldermen, Straz ‘s vote would break the deadlock. “There are things we still have to address down the road,” Straz said after the meeting. “We need to know about hours, signage and things like that. This gives us a chance to talk to people about that. I thought that tonight drafting an ordinance was premature because we haven’t had a chance to talk specifics on what would be in the ordinance. “After the ordinance gets drafted, it would be two more weeks before a final vote. And who is to say at the next meeting, it won’t get deferred again because some of those questions aren’t answered? That’s what I need the answers to … hours and signage.’’ Meanwhile, during Tuesday’s meeting, emotions ran high when nine members of the audience addressed the council. Some were angry that they weren’t allowed to (See Gambling, Page 4)

Dist. 135 may revisit baseball fields pact by Jeff Vorva staff reporter Now that the new Orland District 135 board of education has taken care of the recent Park School controversy by hiring back four paraprofessionals and rescinding the resignation of Special Education Director Ellen Belotti, the next hot-button issue it will field is who will govern the use of baseball fields at district schools. The school board voted in July, 2009 to cancel its intergovernmental agreement with the village of Orland Park for the use of 12 fields, only three months after the two governing bodies signed that agreement. The district took over the scheduling and maintenance of its fields from the village in 2010 and three years later, it’s still a sore point with some residents. Some newly elected board members used the issue in their campaigns earlier this year. In turn, the Orland Youth Association Boys Baseball program en-

dorsed candidates Mike Carroll, Mike Maratea, Laura Berry and Sandra Kulak in April’s election and all four won. The issue could be back in the forefront when the board meets again July 8. “We’re continuing to work on a few other issues,” Board President Joe LaMargo said. “Hopefully we’ll get those resolved. We are going to look at intergovernmental agreements and there are a number of items on our agenda that we want to move forward with now that we have this [Park School issue] behind us. We can start focusing on the district and the kids.” So what made the baseball field issue so controversial? Some feel that the move to rescind the agreement three months after it was made was suspicious. There was speculation by some village and district officials that prior to the vote, former board member John Carmody used his position to secure the district’s fields for a travel team he coached

and claimed it was for a District 135 team, according to a Regional News report. The fees for a nondistrict team to use that field would have been $1,290, according to the report. The board voted 5-1 on June 22, 2009 to make the change. Mary Bragg voted against it and Ann Gentile was absent. Carmody, Tom Cunningham, Lynne Donegan, John Brudnak and Greg Okon voted for it. After the meeting, then-Superintendent Dennis Soustek said the agreement was cancelled because the district wanted to oversee the scheduling of the fields to allow more of the fields to be used. He denied that Carmody had an influence on the decision. “I talked to John and it’s not a payment issue – it’s a scheduling issue,” Soustek said. “If he was just a regular Joe Schultz that had a problem with scheduling we would do the same thing but since he’s a board member, people assume he’s getting special treatment.”

Members of the Orland Youth Association, an organization that has close to a thousand players, had to scramble to make this work the past three years and recent complaints brought to current board members from parents are that they are dissatisfied with the shape the fields are in. Some Orland Park board members have questioned the wisdom of spending money to maintain the fields when the village used to do it on its own dime. Orland Park Trustee Pat Gira called the events of 2009 “craziness” and hopes the new board will reverse the decision. “It just makes sense,” Gira said. “We have a park and maintenance department that handles our ball fields and equipment and we have the manpower. In exchange, we have the fields available to us. We all benefit. I never thought it made much sense for them to purchase equipment and supplies when we had all the resources. They should have been using that

money for education.” Gira said late last year, the village reached out to District 135 to re-visit the issue and did not hear back from the district. But since April, the board is

drastically different. Okon is the lone board member from 2009 who is also on the 2013 board. He lost in the 2011 election and was (See Dist. 135, Page 4)

Members of opposing Orland Youth Association Pinto League teams congratulate each other after a game last Thursday at Humphrey Park. Orland School District 135 and Village of Orland Park officials might also play nice in the coming weeks if they can reach an intergovernmental agreement to allow the village to maintain and schedule OYA games on 12 district fields.

Cruise Nights may be driven out of Southwick Commons by Jeff Vorva staff reporter

McCord will go a ‘Little Bit Country’ Country will be this year’s theme for the McCord Gallery & Cultural Center’s annual fundraiser planned for Saturday, Oct. 5. So save the date as this year’s event will definitely be a rootin-tootin, heel kicking good-time. The event will take place at the historic Willowbrook Ballroom in Willow Springs, where there will be plenty of room for two-stepping and line dancing. And to add more to the fun Arlene Adams, event chair, announced that Joel Daly, retired ABC- 7 newscaster, will be McCord’s guest of honor. Many may recall watching Joel Daly and his co-anchor Fahey Flynn for many years as the high rated “Eyewitness News Team.” Joel also has a love of country music and performed with the country band The Sundowners, playing guitar, singing and yodeling. Don’t miss this chance to meet him and hear his great stories. He was recently welcomed at McCord by committee members, Cynthia Weglarz, Arlene Adams and Carol Trzcinski (pictured above). Plan for an evening of great country music, food and dancing. This event is McCord’s major fundraiser and keeps the McCord House open as a welcoming home for the arts. The event will also include live and silent auctions. If you are interested in helping with the event, call 671-0648 for more information. McCord Gallery & Cultural Center is at 9602 W. Creek Road (129th and La Grange), Palos Park.

On Father’s Day night, there were about 50 or so old cars and hot rods parked in the Southwick Commons lot in Palos Heights just as they have been on Sundays between May and October for the last four years as a part of the popular Cruise Nights. But was it the last Cruise Night hosted at that location? That’s soon to be determined. There could be a showdown this Sunday when the Orland Park-based Cambridge Management Company, which manages the Southwick Commons shopping center, will ask car owners of the Cruise Night to leave and not hold their Sunday night shows there. “We have to cease it,” Cambridge owner and Managing Broker Constance Macon said Tuesday. “We’ll be there next Sunday and ask them to leave. We’re sorry that we have to shut the show down but the way it is set up now, we have to cancel it. There is too much liability.” The Cruise Night has been a staple at the Harlem Avenue/ Route 83 corner parking lot, but a month ago the Cambridge group started representing the landlord and examined the Cruise Night event, which has been under the watch of Tastee Freez owner Diane Georg. Macon’s group determined that the Cruise Night under its current format should not continue. “There is no structure — it appears no one is insuring the property,” she said. “What if a car

runs over the child? That scares me to death.” “It’s not organized. People just show up. There are no [portable restrooms] or security. There is no cleanup of the property on Monday morning. We have outlined what we would like to see moving forward and possibly schedule four Cruise Nights a year instead of hosting it every week.” Macon also suggested the Cruise Night move to a municipal lot in the city. Georg countered she has a $4 million insurance policy on her business and the Cruise Night event and that the garbage cleanup has never been an issue. She is not in favor of moving the event. “Why move it?” she said. “This is such a great event and it helps a lot of businesses in this shopping center and in the area. It’s such a great community event and people thank me for doing it. People come here with their

kids and their grandkids. I hate to see it not happen for whatever reason.” On June 9, the LED sign at the shopping center said it would be the last night for the event. Car owner Russ Ooms, of Crestwood, who has brought his 1956 Buick to Cruise Night over the years, said last Sunday he wasn’t sure what is going to happen. “We were looking at another place — maybe a municipal lot,” he said Sunday night. “A friend of mine was going to get a permit. But we thought we would see what happens. I got here probably about 4:30 and there were probably five or six cars parked here. So I parked here. I saw a police officer but he left. I thought he was going to come over and talk to us but he didn’t say anything. No one asked us to leave.” But that could change this Sun(See Cruise Nights, Page 4)

Spectators have a look at a car during Cruise Night last Sunday at Southwick Commons in Palos Heights. That may have been the last Cruise Night at the shopping center because the center’s management company wants it to cease unless there are changes made.

For the Public Safety

Follow safety tips on your bicycle rides From Palos Park Police Chief Joe Miller Follow these basic safety tips for a safe bike ride. • Make sure your bicycle is ready. Before riding your bicycle, check to make sure all parts are secure and working properly, and that your bicycle is adjusted to fit you. Check your wheels and any quick release components before every ride. Consult your owner’s manual or a local bicycle shop if you need assistance. • Wear a helmet. Never ride a bicycle without a helmet. Wearing a helmet can reduce the chance of a head injury by 85 percent. Select a helmet that fits snugly. It should sit flat on top of your head and cover your forehead. Use extra padding that comes with the helmet to ensure a proper fit for children. • Be seen. Wear clothes that make you more visible. Wear neon, fluorescent, or other bright colors when riding a bicycle during the day. Wear reflective clothing or a reflective vest at night. • Stay alert. Stay alert at all times. Watch out for potholes, cracks, loose gravel, expansion joints, railroad tracks, west leaves, drainage grates or anything else that

can make you fall. • Before going around any object, scan ahead and behind you for a gap in traffic. Plan your move, signal your intentions and then do what you planned. Your predictability will help motor vehicles avoid you. • If you are unsure, or lack the skill to handle an especially rough area, pull off to the right side of the road and walk your bicycle around the hazard. • Be especially careful in wet weather and when there could be ice or frost on your path. Bridges and other elevated areas are very susceptible to ice patches. Cross all railroad tracks at a 90 degree angle and proceed slowly. Over 70 percent of car-bicycle accidents occur at driveways or other intersections. Ride with traffic in a predictable path and check before pulling into traffic. Watch out for cars that are not moving and allow four feet between your bicycle and parked cars in case a door gets opened in your path. • Take extra care when biking at night. It is far more dangerous to bicycle at night. Try to ride in areas where you are familiar with the terrain. Be certain your bicycle is equipped with reflectors for the front, rear and sides of your bicycle.

Inside the First Amendment

‘Gruesome images’ ban threatens free speech by Charles C. Haynes For those of us who worry about the vitality of free speech in the “land of the free,” the news this week isn’t good. On June 10, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to review a Colorado appeals court decision banning anti-abortion activists from displaying “gruesome images” of mutilated fetuses that might be seen by children. The case that precipitated the appeals court ruling, Scott v. St. John’s Church in the Wilderness, concerns an antiabortion protest that took place several years ago on a public sidewalk near a Denver church — a church the protesters believed had fallen away from the teachings of the Bible by supporting abortion. Although the protest couldn’t be seen or heard from within the church, the demonstration was timed to coincide with the church’s outdoor Palm Sunday procession. Parishioners, including children, could look across the street and see the graphic images carried by the picketers. According to the appeals court, censoring the speech of anti-abortion protesters is justified because the state has a compelling interest in “protecting children from certain images of aborted fetuses and dead bodies.” The court’s concern for the sensibilities of children is understandable. But consider the dangers of restricting content of political speech in public spaces merely because children might be disturbed by the message. As the petition asking the Supreme Court to overturn the decision points out, “children under 12 are present in many locations. They often come with their families to parks. They accompany their parents to go shopping… Their parents drive them down streets, from which

they can see protesters on sidewalks. If the decision below is allowed to stand, speech in all these places could be restricted.” Moreover, compelling pro-lifers to tone down their message in public places deprives the movement of one its most effective tools. Opponents of abortion use graphic images precisely because photographs convey a message about what they believe is the brutality of abortion — a message that can’t be delivered in words alone. If government can ban prolife groups from displaying “gruesome images” because they might upset children, government could also ban animal rights activists, anti-war protesters, and any number of other groups from employing potentially disturbing photographs to promote their cause. Lower courts have been divided about the power of government to put contentbased restrictions on political visual messages in public places in order to shield children. Such images enjoy higher First Amendment protection in some places than in others. That’s why it is disappointing that the Supreme Court did not take the Colorado case as an opportunity to end the confusion — and, one would hope, make clear that government may not restrict robust political speech in the public square anywhere in America. After all, the ability to “shock the conscience” depends on the right to shock the viewer — a right that is at the very heart of free speech. Charles C. Haynes is director of the Religious Freedom Education Project at the Newseum, 555 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C., 20001.

Readers Write Video gambling in Palos Heights? Dear Editor: To all Palos Heights residents, please think about answering this question: What do you love about Palos Heights? Is it the family friendly atmosphere? Is it the good public and private schools? Is it PBO and the power for young athletes? Is it the city pool and the beautiful surrounding park? Is it the senior citizen friendly atmosphere? Is it the park programs available for all ages? Is it the top-notch library? Is it the lovely tree-lined streets? Is it the five-minute drive to a good restaurant? Is it the five-minute drive to shopping from Ace Hardware to a florist? Is the best cable news channel in the area or maybe even in the state? Is it spectacular Lake Katherine ... the gem of the southern suburbs? I’m sure there are more reasons to love Palos Heights. My question to Mayor Straz and the alderman who represent us ... do you believe that video gambling can be added to that list and that residents will be proud to say to folks they meet that the elected officials of Palos Heights voted to allow it?

Preserving community values

Dear Editor: Much of the opposition to local gaming is focused on its potentially negative impact on the moral integrity of our community. Although there is much to be commended about Palos Heights, there is also a dark side to our community that is often hidden behind affluence. Looking back on my childhood growing up in Palos Heights during the 1970s, I am haunted by family memories of alcoholic rages, emotional abandonment and harsh punishments that made no sense. Outside home, my neighborhood was even more frightening. For years, I was taunted by neighborhood bullies whose parents reportedly paid hefty legal fees for their children’s crimes of arson, theft, vandalism and Model communities even throwing lit matches ban video gambling at peers on the school bus.

How to reduce Cook County Jail inmate population Dear Editor: Ten thousand inmates in the Cook County Jail (CCJ) is too many. Historically, as John B. Filan told then-president Richard Phelan as I met with them to propose drug policy reform in 1993, eighty percent of the Cook County budget is allocated for the CCJ, the court/criminal justice system, and the John Stroger Cook County Hospital. In 1968 Cook County had the same problem — too many inmates awaiting trial and too much money spent housing them during the wait. Then, as a law student working in Chief Cook County Judge John Boyle’s Office of Research and Development, Richard Napoli, Jack Weinrauch and I helped set up a Release on Recognizance (ROR) program for the CCJ to reduce the jail population with some success. Today, the overpopulation is caused significantly for two reasons. The first reason is the failure of the Cook County state’s attorney’s office to reduce felony charges to misdemeanor charges at the preliminary hearing stage in exchange for misdemeanor jail time (and indicting everything that moves wholesale — indictments should be many fewer per year and, generally, reserved for only serious violent crime). (In Edward V. Hanrahan days, assistants were once told we only want “serious murders” sent to 26th street for indictment.” Indictment in Cook County use to be a serious thing for serious crime. Not necessarily so, today.) How does that work? Last night, a car thief is caught and arrested and this morning he is in court in cuffs. The state offers to reduce the charges from grand theft to petty theft in exchange for the defendant’s guilty plea and probation with one year or less in jail, or probation with electronic monitoring, or combination thereof. The defendant pleads guilty without a felony conviction, no indictment, no discovery, no delay and the defendant heads to jail not for a “continuance” but to serve his time, all accomplished within 24 hours of his arrest. Generally, charge reduction should apply to burglary and property crimes, reserving indictment and felony charging for serious violent charges like murder, rape and armed robbery. The message to criminals: “punishment is swift, certain and reasonable without life-ruining felony-conviction stamping. Behave.” Under this scenario of charging, gun charges are not charged as felonies unless the gun was fired. Firing and missing is violence and warrants felony charging. The message to criminals: “Don’t hurt someone.” The second reason the CCJ is too crowded is the foolish charging of “drug crimes,” society’s outlawing of what people voluntarily choose to buy and put into their own bodies. Making this behavior a crime causes crime — addict crime and turf-war crime — and feeds the gangs with limitless profits to further their criminal activities. The solution to this problem is legalize and regulate drugs, something the state’s attorney cannot do, but in the meantime

the state’s attorney’s office can minimize drug charges, refuse to give law enforcement a cut of forfeited drug money and property, and save felony prosecution for drug transactions that turn violent. The office could also use “reverse stings” to identify drug users and confiscate drugs rather than to arrest users and sellers. The question to be asked by Chief Cook County Judge Timothy Evans, Cook County Board Pres. Toni Preckwinkle, Sheriff Tom Dart and Commissioner John Fritchey is this: How many CCJ inmates are there for nonviolent drug offenses, how many “jail-days” do these inmates represent, and at what cost? The answer to that question would dramatically help reach the goal of cutting the CCJ population to 7,500. James E. Gierach Palos Park

Palos Heights Woman’s Club celebrates Diamond Jubilee The Palos Heights Woman’s Club commemorated its 75th anniversary with a Diamond Jubilee gala celebration last Friday night at Midlothian Country Club. Shown at left are the event committee members overseeing the raffle prizes: Patricia Bailey (from left), Janeen Schmaedeke, Sherry TerMaat, Rose Zubik, Celeste Kappel and Nancy Mitchell. Last Saturday’s program included cocktails, dinner, recognition of honored guests and past presidents, a recitation of the club’s history and many civic contributions, music and dancing. At right, Palos Heights Woman’s Club’s Fine Arts Department members Pat Hogan, Joan

Meyers, Dorothy Menker and Arlene Sypniewski, discuss plans for the upcoming cultural arts event they are organizing, to be held Saturday, Oct. 12, at the Dorothy Menker Theater in the Moraine Valley Community College Fine and Performing Arts Center. Details will be announced at a later date. The woman’s club traces its history to Dec. 8, 1938 when a group of 23 women from Palos Heights met in the Community House for the purpose of organizing a woman’s club, according to club historian Elenor Hawley.

Orland OKs 10-year Waste Management trash pact by Jeff Vorva staff reporter Orland Park officials put the finishing touches on a 10-year deal for garbage removal and could be in the home stretch for a water deal that could last for 40 years. The Village Board unanimously agreed on a 10-year deal with Waste Management for a two-cart, take-all refuse collection program which will provide recycling pickup every week rather than the current timeframe of once every two weeks. The changes will take effect Nov. 1. The early years on the deal will lower costs less than the current rate. Residents now pay $19.40 per month for service. Upon the change, they will pay $18.58 the first year, $19.04 the second year and the price will steadily increase to $23.20 in the 10th year. Originally, Waste Management offered $19.20 per month in the first year and would have increased it steadily to $23.97 in the 10th year but the village was able to

negotiate a better deal because another service, Allied Waste Republic had a proposal on the table with lower rates. The “take-all” service means that if there is excess trash of the two carts, that will be picked up, too. “If the two carts are full and I still have a bunch of garbage — they will take it,” Village Manager Paul Grimes said. “They figure that on any given week, 90 percent of the households will be contained to within those two carts and they will have a lot more efficiency than they have today. That’s good for everybody. “Also in the agreement, we will have a spring cleaning week. Rather than people bringing stuff into our dumpster in our Public Works facility, people can put their stuff out curbside and we’ll come and get it. We may even do it twice a year.” There will be plenty of public notice before the changes take place, Grimes said. The village will also receive $25,000 per year from Waste Management to be used to support vil-

lage programs and events. Waste Management has served Orland Park for more than 30 years and village officials said they were happy with the Houstonbased company’s service. Earlier this year, however, Allied Waste Republic came charging in with lower bids. Orland Park officials said that residents gave Waste Management high marks for its service and that keeping the company would provide minimal disruption in service not changing providers. During a Village Board meeting in March, Lions Club reps spoke on behalf of what Waste Management has done for them and their annual Orland Days celebration. Grimes also said during a Public Works and Engineering Committee meeting prior to the Village Board meeting that Orland Park and other communities are closing in on a long-term agreement with Oak Lawn on a water contract that could last up to 40 years and be worth up to $160 million. The committee recommended to bring to the full board a $55,210 request for additional consultant

Heights Classic Car Event fills Harlem like nothing else Ten years ago, organizers of the first Palos Heights Classic Car Event went into the front of the line and were taken aback. Then-alderman Jeff Prestinario and Glenn Kraemer were busy doing some grunt work before the start of the event. “I remember Jeff and I were registering cars and everyone was out parking their cars and the volunteers were doing their thing,” Kraemer said. “I think we were the last two people to come out and came around the front and looked down Harlem Avenue and both of us were like ‘oh, oh, man … what did we do?’ It was people and cars as far as they eye could see.” The 10th running of the Classic Car Event takes place Thursday, July 18. It is an event that has become huge over the years. One year, it drew 500 cars and drivers and 10,000 spectators, Kraemer said. Prestinario, Kraemer, Susan Larson Spencer and Lou Elsner are credited with being the forces of getting the car event started, said Robert Starzyk, who is overseeing the 10th running of the event. “They brought me on as a fifth wheel,” Starzyk joked. “They saw me washing one of my classic cars and asked if I knew how to run a car show.” Starzyk brought some of the founding members together Tuesday at City Hall and displayed some cars that were in past shows for the past 10 years alongside the 1969 Cougar that is being raffled off. The pioneers of the event all agree that the time has flown by and can’t believe it’s been 10 years. And some of them have fond

Reporter’s Notebook by Jeff Vorva memories of the first event. “I remember what a success it was — how many cars and how many spectators we had,” Elsner said. “Oh, we must have had 125 cars. I had been here since 1966 and it’s the first time I ever saw them shut down Harlem Avenue to that spectators could get from one side to another.”

How to win a Cougar The 1969 Cougar, which seems to be everywhere in the city lately, will be raffled off during the July 18 event. Tickets are $20 for one and $100 for six. First prize is the Cougar or $10,000. Second prize is $2,000, third prize is $1,000, fourth prize is $500 and fifth prize is $250. Tickets are being sold at Palos Heights City Hall, the Palos Heights Recreation Center, Lake Katherine, Every Good Gift, the Panini Xpresso Coffee House and Tastee Freez.

ERA for a pair of Class A teams in 2011. Instead of climbing the ladder to Double-A in the organization, the rungs in the ladder rotted and broke for him when he received a call from the Yankees that they released him. He didn’t want to give up on the sport and played for the Windy City Thunderbolts, where he shined with an 11-3 mark and a 2.51 and won the Brian Tollberg Award for best pitcher in the Frontier League in 2012. That caused the Baltimore Orioles to take notice and they signed him during the offseason but cut him right after spring training in late March. So it was back to Crestwood for another summer with the TBolts. Or so he thought. After a couple of starts for the TBolts, he was signed by the White Sox and was off to Arizona for his second second chance in a major league organization of 2013. Here’s hoping he gets to stick around awhile and get his shot.

work to continue to hammer out the agreement. Orland Park is sharing resources with Tinley Park, Oak Forest, Mokena and New Lenox to work out a deal with Oak Lawn. Grimes said after the meeting that there are a few issues that need to be ironed out before the current deal runs out at the end of the calendar year. “We’re working on rate issues and debt allocation issues,” Grimes said. “As one can imagine, there are a lot of rate models. It’s a time-consuming process. There are questions about repair and replacement issues. How do we pay for it? All of those things are things we’re working through. We’re actually down to the final key issues and we will be there in the near future. “But we’re not there yet. We have to keep grinding.” He said the municipalities are looking at either a 30- or 40-year deal, but 40 is the more likely scenario. “That gets us through for generations,” Grimes said. “They want to add another water line, which

“That’s precisely the things you have to negotiate in an agreement,” Grimes said. “Typically with big infrastructure agreements, it doesn’t happen. But if they don’t live up to the contractual agreements they go into default and there are certain off-ramps that you have and vice-versa.”

At that meeting, Alderman Michael McGrogan (4th Ward) made a reference to abortion during one of his speeches, which caused resident Kathy Lovitt to ask for an apology Tuesday night. “He somehow found an opportunity to compare abortion to video gaming and that’s a very inappropriate response,” she said. “I think he should make an apology.’’ “I’m waiting for yours,” McGrogan countered. “I don’t need to make an apology,” she said. “I think you do,” McGrogan said. “Let’s behave like adults here,” she said before Straz put an end to the argument by directing the conversation toward the issues. Seven people spoke against video gambling while two spoke for it. Both men who spoke for the gaming machines said they were not restaurant owners.

Palos Heights resident Margaret Danaher teared up when asking the council to vote against video gambling.

Dist. 135 (Continued from page 1) off the board for two years but was appointed back to the board in late May by current board after Carmody resigned in April. If the district and village can come to an agreement starting in 2014, it would put a lot less burden on the OYA. “The first thing I want to say is that I believe the school district maintenance workers are doing the best job they can and they are accommodating to us,” OYA president Brian Gaspardo said.

who argued that gambling would be bad for the city, he retorted “We have the lottery and that’s the worst form of gambling,” said Andrew Byrne Hodorowicz. “We’re allowing that. People don’t have to go to these establishments to play video gaming. It’s just an enhancement. It’s like a bubble gum machine.” For months, some Palos Heights restaurant owners have been saying the economy is killing their business and that neighboring communities have allowed their restaurants to make money because of gaming machines. Taking her turn at the podium, resident Gina Danaher noted that Norman Rockwell pictures hung on the council chamber wall facing the audience behind the dais where the mayor and aldermen are seated. “I would ask ‘what does Normal Rockwell have in common with video gaming?’’’ she said. “It really is a contradiction. I would suggest that if we are going to approve video gaming, you might want to take those down and maybe put some posters up of Las Vegas shows because that would be more consistent with the spirit of video gaming.” That caught the attention of Alderman Jack Clifford (2nd Ward) who later took exception to that and to residents who have been corresponding with him and stereotyping those who engage in gambling. “My mother was 97 years old and a devout Catholic,” he said. “She liked to play the slot machines with some of the other seniors, God bless her soul. According to this one email, she would be categorized as ‘one of those people’ and I resent that. We’ll base this decision on the merits of what it is and what it does for the town. “Those [pictures] up there? Norman Rockwell didn’t have anything to do with gambling — those pictures are about freedom of speech and prayer and Thanks-

giving and sharing. That’s what those are about. That means for the public, too. They shouldn’t be compared to gambling or Vegas. I hope everyone respects everyone’s view here and let’s not be argumentative about it.’’ Resident Laura Danaher teared up when pleading with the council to retain the city’s ban on the gambling machines. “Money is only good as long as it helps people and help them lead the better life,” she said. “If you are going to destroy a family, that’s not a better life.’’ A school principal and church official also spoke out against gambling as Landmark Christian Academy Principal Ken Darnell touched on the morality of gambling. “I cringe when I hear that gambling is no longer a moral issue,” he said. “Who decided that? Well, the gambling industry decided that. That’s like a thief decided that stealing is no longer wrong. It is and always has been a moral issue.’’ Landmark is an elementary school based at Life Church of Chicagoland in Palos Heights. Jerry Prosapio, a minister at Life Church, said he was a compulsive gambler and doesn’t see the good in bringing machines to town. “The OK to put these machines in Palos Heights will create new addicts,” he said. “The result after a very short time will be the loss of paychecks, family and even their lives with suicide.” Former Mayor Dean Koldenhoven said the fairest way to settle the question is to put it on a ballot for a vote by residents. “I would strongly [suggest] that this City Council consider a referendum and let the residents of Palos Heights — 12,000 in population — vote and let their voice be heard if they want video gambling in their town or not,’’ he said. By state law, such a referendum would be advisory, its results not binding on the council.

“But they have other things they have to do in their district and they don’t work on weekends like the village does. So if it rains hard on Friday night, no one is there to work on the fields on Saturday. The village had full-time workers take care of the fields. That was their job and they worked weekends.” Scheduling has also been a headache for OYA since the entities split. “It means more administration because we have to double our work,” Gaspardo said. “We’re a volunteer organization and it’s hard to get someone to do the scheduling. We can get coaches. Coaching is fun

and people want to do that so they can spend time with their kids. But it’s hard to find someone willing to spend time at their kitchen table about three hours a day for two or three nights a week. “If we have an intergovernmental agreement, we can cut our administrative duties in half.” If the issue gets resolved, there will be some happy administrators in the village. “The way things are going now, it’s hard to figure out why they are using taxpayer money to do a job that the village already has the resources for,” Gira said. “We’re just not working and playing well together right now.”

Aracely’s Bakery joins Heights Farmers Market Library and League of Women Voters coming Weds. The Palos Heights Farmers Market welcomes our newest addition, Aracely’s Bakery and Deli. For over 30 years they have served guests on the north side of Chicago their delicious homemade Mexican tamales. This year they want to bring their tamales to the South Suburbs. In addition to the Palos Heights Market, they can be found at the Frankfort, Mokena, and Lockport farmers markets. They serve fresh tamales made the traditional way, filled with your choice of pork, chicken, peppers and cheese or mixed vegetables, perfectly seasoned, wrapped in a cornhusk, spread with masa and steamed. They are served with fresh salsa. Come and see how good they are. The League of Women Voters of the Palos-Orland Area will be the guest at the City Tent.

Young girls to old ladies (From June 20, 1985) Former college classmates, remembered as young girls, appeared at a luncheon in St. Louis last week. The occasion was the 50th anniversary of our graduation from Harris Teachers’ College, the school owned and operated by the St. Louis Board of Education for the purpose of training young women to teach in the St. Louis elementary schools. In our day, the early 1930s, Harris was for white girls, and there was a sister school, Stowe, for black girls. The elementary and high schools were also segregated. Today, Harris has been moved to a new location, has become a state university, is desegregated and serves both men and women. Of the 64 members of the class of ’35, 30 attended the luncheon. I had seen some of them at a 40th anniversary affair, but most I had not seen for 50 years. And I recognized only a few as they entered the room. Name tags were speedily attached, which solved the problem. Many had snow white hair. Oth-

Virginia Richards (1914 1995) ers had unchanged hair, in which case I suspected the dye bottle. Others, like myself, have just been slow to gray and are now just partially gray. Some were quite wrinkled; others scarcely showed the marks of time in the skin of their faces. Many once-thin girls are now well-padded (including myself). A few have kept their shapes. Of the 30 attending, eight have never married. I have wondered about this high percentage of spinsters and think it might be due to the fact that 1935 was the depth of the great depression. Married women were not allowed to teach. (“We can’t have pregnant women in the classrooms!”) And so these

young women, clinging desperately to their jobs, let their marriageable years pass. There were some surprises. The woman who conducted the programs with great efficiency had also had the most distinguished career. She had received a master’s degree and taught summers at Johns Hopkins University. She had headed the curriculum department for the St. Louis schools and had written several textbooks. In college I had considered her to be not especially bright, rather colorless and not outstanding in any way. Others did not surprise me. The wittiest, cleverest girl in college is still witty and clever. The prettiest girl is now the prettiest woman. The finest musician is still a fine musician. In St. Louis I was a guest in the home of a good friend and former sorority sister and was royally entertained. All my travel plans went smoothly. I drove to Duluth, flew to Minneapolis, changed planes and flew to St. Louis, where I was met by my friends. Returning, the order was reversed.

Pick of the Litter By Dr. John R. Fleming, DVM Dear Dr. Fleming: I’d like to start making my own food for my dogs and my cat. Do you think this is a good idea? Angel, Worth Dear Angel: I think this is a fine idea, but it will take a little research and diligence on your part. If you do make your own foods you can be more assured of the quality of the foodstuffs and you don’t have the concern about unwanted additives. Plus you’ll be buying our ingredients locally, and not from China. Sorry, but I do have a hang-up about eating anything from overseas. Homemade diet recipes can be found in textbooks, in magazine articles and on the Internet. People cook for their pets for various reasons including, cooking for food allergy trials, cooking special food for medical conditions such as renal disease, and just for personal preference. I believe that cooking for a pet also strengthens the bond between the owner and the pet. Some people think that cooking for their pets will save them money, but this is not true if you do it right. There is no doubt that commercially prepared foods are cheaper and more convenient. Several sources are available to help you with formulating a balanced homemade diet and the three that we recommend are wysong.net, balanceit.com, and petdiets.com. Also you can contact the American College of Veterinary Nutrition to help you locate a nutritionist to work with you (www.acvn.org). I applaud you for this endeavor.

We call it Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). SLE is an autoimmune disease that arises when the body’s immune system starts to attack multiple tissues or organs in the body, as if they were foreign. SLE may involve the skin, platelets, joints, and red blood cells. Most affected dogs are middle size, and German shepherds tend to be predisposed. In SLE, antibodies are produced that form complexes with proteins on or in the body’s cells. These large complexes become trapped in the blood vessels of organs such as the kidneys and joints and their presence causes an inflammatory reaction. The body reacts to this Dear Dr. Fleming: inflammation in a way that actu I have had a number of friends ally makes things worse.

Skin lesions occur in about onethird of the dogs with lupus and about one-half the dogs develop polyarthritis (arthritis in multiple joints) resulting in lameness, joint swelling and pain. Dogs with kidney involvement may have no clinical signs until the disease has progressed quite far and the owner may first notice increased thirst, frequent urination, muscle wasting, nausea and vomiting. About one-third of the dogs develop anemia and a low platelet count. These dogs show weakness, pale gums and possible hemorrhage from the gums and skin. Routine tests are usually recommended and may show multiple abnormalities such as anemia, low platelet count, elevated protein in the blood and urine, and altered kidney function. X-rays of the joints and abdomen may be indicated. Several immune assays may be performed, such as a lupus erythematosis (LE) clot test, antinuclear antibody (ANA), and Coomb’s test. Immunologic tests

may also be performed on biopsies of skin, kidneys and joint tissue. Fluid may be aspirated from inflamed joints and sent for analysis and culture. The diagnosis of SLE is difficult because no single test is available that indicates the presence of the disease. Making a diagnosis of SLE depends upon eliminating a number of other diseases and documenting at least one positive immunologic test and involvement of at least two different organ systems. Initially the silver bullet is employed as initial therapy. The silver bullet, of course, is prednisolone. High, immunosuppressive doses are usually needed to bring the disease under control and once clinical signs improve the pred dosage tapered down. If the dog does not respond well to pred, stronger immunosuppressive medications such as ImuranR, cyclosporine or cyclophosphamide may be added to the therapy. Other medications, supplements, and dietary changes may be recommended to help alleviate protein in the urine, joint pain, vomiting, weight loss and other signs. SLE is a chronic progressive disease that is difficult to control. It takes a dedicated pet owner to manage this disease. For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But God’s discipline is always right and good for us because it means we will share in his holiness. No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening — it is painful. But afterward there will be a quiet harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. So, take a new grip on your tired hands and stand firm on your shaky legs. Mark out a straight path for your feet. Then those who follow you, though they are weak and lame, will not stumble and fall but will become strong. — Hebrews 12:10-13

Saffron may keep mind in good order syndrome, depression, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). In a recent Iranian study, saffron produced a 50 percent reduction in PMS symptoms, according to Nan Kathryn Fuchs. It was used for four months, and every month the cumulative results increased effectiveness in controlling PMS. In Japan, another study used only the essential oils and women merely inhaled the aroma for 20 minutes. The fragrance was soothing and calming to the participants. Fuchs writes, “Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of postmenopausal women, and 40%-60% of heart disease patients are clinically depressed. Many of them are on medication, like Prozac.” Fuchs explains saffron enhances the activity of mood-boosting neurotransmitters such as dopamine. In Iran, saffron is used for depression, according to Fuchs. Fuchs writes that saffron reduced brain inflammation in Alzheimer’s and MS patients in a 5½-month study. She ex-

plains, “Although it is believed that Alzheimer’s is incurable, a four-month randomized placebocontrolled study on people with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s found that just two 15 mg. capsules of saffron a day significantly improved their cognitive function.” In explaining the condition of MS and myelin deterioration that creates MS, she writes, “According to medical researchers at the University of Alberta, Canada, saffron has properties that reduce this inflammation.” The Canadian study found that the crocin in saffron prevented damage to cells that create myelin. Liver cancer has been linked to environmental carcinogens found in tobacco smoke, makeup, gasoline and toxins found in processed foods. A study conducted at the United Arab Emirates University in 2011 showed cancer and benign tumors responded to saffron as a treatment. The results reported in the September 2011 issue of the journal Hepatology indicated rats with cancer lesions, both

Mayo Clinic DEAR MAYO CLINIC: Are there natural ways to prevent gout attacks or at least lessen the severity? I don’t want to take medication if it’s not necessary. ANSWER: If you have been diagnosed with gout, you can make lifestyle changes that may help lower the risk of future gout attacks. Gout is a form of arthritis that happens when sharp particles, called urate crystals, build up in a joint, causing severe pain, tenderness and swelling. One joint commonly affected by gout is located at the base of the big toe. Urate crystals form when high levels of uric acid are present in the blood. Your body produces uric acid when it breaks down purines - substances found naturally in the body, as well as in certain foods. Uric acid usually dissolves in your blood and passes through your kidneys into your urine. But sometimes your body either produces too much uric acid or your kidneys flush out too little uric acid. When this happens, gout often results.

One of the most helpful ways to prevent gout attacks is to maintain a healthy body weight. Research has shown that excess weight is a major risk factor for developing gout. If you are overweight, losing weight can lower uric acid levels in your body and significantly reduce your risk of gout attacks. Regarding the type of diet you should follow, the traditional thinking was that reducing the amount of foods that contain purines could substantially decrease the risk of gout flares. However, managing a low-purine diet can be quite cumbersome, and the success of such a diet in lowering blood uric acid levels is actually quite low. Even if you strictly follow a low-purine diet, the decrease in your blood uric acid level is rarely enough to cure gout. Instead, a lower-calorie diet — one that replaces refined carbohydrates (sugar, white flour, others) with more complex carbohydrates, limits meat, and increases vegetables and fruit — often can be much more effective at reducing blood uric acid levels than a low-

purine diet. Specifically, to lower your risk of gout, eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fat-free or low-fat milk products. Get your protein mainly from low-fat dairy products because they may protect against gout. Limit the meat, fish and poultry you eat to no more than 4 to 6 ounces a day. Drink 8 to 16 cups, or about 2 to 4 liters, of fluid daily, with at least half of that being water. In addition, avoid foods and beverages that have been shown to increase the risk of gout attacks, including those that are rich in fructose, such as fruit-flavored drinks, non-diet soda and many processed foods. Drinking alcohol, especially beer, is also a significant risk factor for gout. Studies have suggested that drinking two or more beers a day can double the risk of a gout attack. So limit the amount of alcohol you drink, or avoid it completely. Although you mention a preference not to take medication, if you have other health problems, some medications taken for those conditions may also be useful in

Health Beat

by Dee Woods

The 1960s song, “Mellow Yellow,” the lyrics opened: “I’m just mad about Saffron/Saffron’s just wild about me.” I don’t really know what the song is about, but it seems saffron, the spice that gives flavor to many foods, contains exceptional health benefits. Saffron has always believed to be a healthful spice, but within the last few years, it has been shown to have many healing aspects. It’s the most expensive spice on the shelf, but that’s because it is somewhat difficult to harvest and it takes a great many crocus flowers to create even small amounts of the spice. The most valuable part of the plant is in each stigma that reaches out of the flower. Every saffron plant holds a very small amount of the constituent needed to produce .06 ounces of the spice. It is used most frequently in Greece, Italy and the Middle East, and was once pegged to the price of gold, it was so valuable. The latest uses of the precious plant have been for numerous conditions such as premenstrual

benign and malignant, were treated with saffron, and that the spice reduced the number and incidence of tumors. The most significant aspect was that the rats that received preventive treatment had no cancer and were protected from the development of cancer cells. It is believed the function of saffron is to prevent or reduce inflammation. The more I read the more I find, and the more it becomes clear that most disease begins with inflammation. Merely controlling inflammation can reduce the incidence of many diseases. There are foods to avoid, such as trans-fats and sugars, and there are foods and spices that fight inflammation. Among the healthy anti-inflammatory spices are turmeric and saffron. Exchange bad fats for coconut oil and make certain to remain active physically and mentally.

preventing gout. For example, the blood pressure medication losartan has been shown to lower uric acid levels, and a variety of medications used to treat high cholesterol also have a beneficial effect on blood uric acid levels. If you have high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol and are managing them with medication, talk to your doctor about using a drug that could help prevent gout, as well. Finally, if lifestyle changes aren’t enough to control gout, very effective medications are available. If you decide to try medication, talk to your doctor about which one is right for you. — Tim Bongartz, M.D., Rheumatology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.

And take a break at the fest’s version of a typical Greek café to sit and sip a Greek frappe iced coffee. Of course, a Greek party

Marquette Bank awards annual scholarships to 54 grads Marquette Bank continued a 47-year tradition by awarding $2,500 scholarships to 54 graduating seniors from neighborhood high schools in Chicago and the Southwest Suburbs. A total of $135,000 was awarded to local students. Funded by the Marquette Bank Education Foundation (MBEF), scholarships were awarded to students recommended by their guidance counselors and principals. Students were selected based on financial need, scholastic achievement and a record of volunteer service in their respective communities. Since 1967, over $2.6 million in scholarships has been awarded to nearly 1,400 high school students from Chicagoland neighborhoods. The scholarship can be used for any post-secondary

Don’t let investments ever take a vacation At long last, summer is almost here — which may mean it’s time to put together your traveling plans. Still, while you and your family may enjoy going a summertime trip, there’s one part of your life that should not go on vacation — and that’s your investment portfolio. So, what can you do to help your investments keep on working all year long, year in and year out? Here are a few suggestions: • Don’t chase after “hot” investments. Many times, you will hear about a “hot” investment, usually a stock. However, by the time you hear about such an investment, it may already be cooling off. Even more importantly, it might not have been appropriate for your needs — and any investment that has either “flamed out” or wasn’t right for you in the first place will not be a “hard worker” in your portfolio. • Monitor “lazy” investments. Under the right circumstances, just about any investment could be of value to you. However, under different scenarios, those same investments may not be doing as much for you. To cite one example, when interest rates are at historic lows, as has been the case recently, and your portfolio contains a relatively large amount of short-term fixed-rate vehicles whose interest payments don’t even keep up with inflation, they could be considered “lazy” investments.

Jim Van Howe

• Look for the “multi-taskers.” In most aspects of life, “multitaskers” are valuable — and it’s the same in the investment world. Can you find a particular type of investment that may be able to achieve multiple goals at the same time? Consider dividend-paying stocks. If you need the income to supplement your cash flow, you can cash the dividend checks. And since some companies tend to increase their dividends, your investment in these stocks can serve as a source of potential for rising income, helping keep you ahead of inflation. Furthermore, if you don’t actually need the dividends to support your income stream, you can reinvest them to increase your ownership stake — a method of building your overall wealth. Finally, many dividendpaying stocks also offer significant growth potential. Keep in mind, though, that there are no guarantees, because companies can lower or discontinue their dividends at any time. And, as you know, stocks are subject to market risk, includ-

Schmaedeke Funeral Home earns Better Business Bureau accreditation Becoming an accredited business with the Better Business Bureau is an honor not accorded to all businesses; because not all businesses meet eligibility standards. Schmaedeke Funeral Home has met all BBB standards and is now an accredited business. “Accreditation in the BBB is by invitation only,” says Steve J. Bernas, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois. “And only those businesses that meet our high standards, and pass the review process are approved by our Board of Directors.” As with all businesses that are accredited by the BBB, Schma-

The code is a comprehensive set of policies, procedures and best practices on how businesses treat consumers. These standards call for building trust, embodying integrity, advertising honestly and being truthful.

LTC insurance. Q. I am 68 years old and will retire at the end of the year. I have three different “pots” of savings, with roughly equal amounts: my 401(k), a Roth IRA and a regular investment account. Does it matter which account I draw from to supplement my Social Security income? — Jerome A. Sometimes it can be easier to accumulate retirement savings than to figure out how to actually tap the money when you need it. Remember to keep at least one year’s worth of expenses sacrosanct in a safe (read: boring and low interest) account, like a savings, checking or short-term CD. The emergency reserve fund should be in a non-retirement account. You should then plan on depleting the pots as follows: non-retirement accounts first, followed by employer-based re tirement accounts and IRAs, and lastly, Roth IRAs. The theory is based on taxation: the non-re tirement funds have already been subjected to income tax, so using them may mean liquidating and paying capital gains rates, but those rates are lower than income tax rates. Retirement assets come next because Uncle Sam will force you to withdraw funds starting after age 70 1/2 anyway (these funds have not yet been taxed at either the federal or state levels). Roth IRAs should come last because you have paid all of the taxes due. If you are fortunate enough not to need your Roth IRA funds, they will pass to your heirs, free of income tax. Of course, if

you have a total estate that is subject to federal or estate tax, your Roth IRA will be included as an estate asset. Now, keep those questions coming — I really do enjoy hearing from you!

Nolan resurrects America’s superhero by Jase Howell The superhero genre has been nothing short of magnificent for Hollywood in recent years, as franchises including Batman, Spiderman, X-Men and iron man have struck gold. During this run, however, many of the superheroes introduced to us are those many people were not familiar with or would not have previously considered among their favorites. What about the most apple pie and Midwest persona of them all, the hero who fought for truth and justice? I am talking about Superman. Director Bryan Singer, who despite some very successful films during

his career didn’t have the answer when he re-booted the franchise with “Superman Returns” (2006). I in all honesty figured it was over for the man from Krypton who in another era was the poster boy American hero. Enter Christopher Nolan. In case you have forgotten, and with Americans’ short attention spans there is a good chance many people have, there was a time Batman was relegated to bad Joel Schumacher movies and fast food tie-ins. That was before Nolan re-energized the franchise with “Batman Begins” and turned it Oscar-caliber with “The Dark Knight.” If there’s one thing the new-

est Superman film proves, it’s that Nolan can resurrect anything — whether a reclusive bat or an alien who lives in an ice fortress. In the latest incarnation — dubbed “Man of Steel” — we get the familiar back story about Clark Kent (Henry Cavill), a loner in a small town who by his very nature performs some heroic tasks. One of these acts draws the attention of Lois Lane (Amy Adams), who is understandably interested in this individual’s help in vastly different scenarios and locations. Lois tracks Kent down, but he can give no further information. (Continued on page 2)

Krypton. But forget plot bulletins, “Man of Steel” is about proving Superman is still a viable and sellable superhero. Mission accomplished — and then some. There were many questions entering this film. The choice of Zach Snyder (“300”, “The Watchmen”) as director was wrong, but screenplay and producer credits went into the hands of Nolan. Nolan won out on the artistic calls, and hence we have one of the most beautifully performed, scoped and impressively toned action films of the summer.

You can call it what you want — a fluke, a good run, whatever – but you would be mistaken to dismiss that it is Nolan alone who has the ability to make films exceed our expectations. From the perfectly assembled cast that delivers all the right notes, to the screenplay, to the dangerous action sequences, to the incredible climax that is met with a The villain is the familiar Gen- music score that haunts you long eral Zod ( Michael Shannaon), who after leaving the theater, Nolan was around for the implosion of delivers.

Summer baseball roundup

Payback the word in opening week By Ken Karrson Spring frustration gave way to summer exaltation. Not all wins and losses are created equal, of course. Most baseball players and coaches, for example, would gladly swap mid-June accomplishments for late-May success, the kind that keeps a team moving forward in the state playoffs. However, payback brings about a sense of satisfaction no matter when it’s doled out, and that held true for three local squads last week. Oak Lawn, Sandburg and Chicago Christian all turned the tables on familiar foes, ones that reigned supreme in springtime meetings. The most painful of those setbacks undoubtedly was administered to the Spartans. South Suburban Conference Red rival Reavis did so in a Class 4A Mt. Carmel Regional semifinal matchup, which brought an unexpectedly quick halt to Oak Lawn’s postseason stay and overshadowed the Spartans’ run to a divisional title right before that. The two programs met up again last Wednesday with far less at stake, but Oak Lawn no less determined to make amends, particularly since the Rams were throwing the same pitcher they had used in the playoff contest. And the Spartans did exactly that. Oak Lawn coach Bill Gerny’s strategy for the summer is to use his projected regulars for four innings and then freely substitute after that. In the earliest stages against Reavis, the Spartans jumped out in front and never lost the lead, eventually bagging an 8-6 victory. Oak Lawn chalked up four runs in its initial at-bat, as five straight players hit safely. Registering RBI were Mitch Swatek (two-run double), Matt Dunne (single) and Joe Dodaro (single). “The juniors who are going to be seniors came out mad,” Gerny said. “They still took it personally that they lost [in the tournament]. “We were kind of worried, wondering whether or not [the Rams] would have a psychological hold on us, but that obviously didn’t happen. That same pitcher who started for Reavis in the regional game only lasted one inning, and that was nice to see.” The Rams gradually narrowed the gap, thanks to five unearned runs, but they could never catch the Spartans. Gerny pegged Ray Walker as his most effective mound man after the latter threw three innings of scoreless ball. *** Oak Lawn entered a tournament at Richards on Friday, where it began a three-game appearance with an 11-9 eight-inning triumph over St. Ignatius. Swatek’s double snapped a 9-all tie and also handed him a pitching win in relief. While the Spartans required some late heroics to subdue the Wolfpack, they again operated with a lead in hand right from the outset as hits by Dodaro, Kevin Zurek and Brandon Quillin helped Oak Lawn build a 4-0 advantage in its initial plate appearance. “That’s really been taking a lot of stress off our pitchers, which we didn’t do in the spring,” Gerny said, referring to his club’s offensive handiwork. Friday’s second encounter, against St. Charles East, didn’t work out quite so well for the Spartans, but Gerny still found something to like in a 7-0 defeat: the joint showings of Swatek and Matt Witkowski on the mound. Between them, the duo threw six innings and surrendered only two runs over that span. “Those are both pitchers we plan to rely on heavily next year, so they did a really good job against a top team,” Gerny said. “We had problems throwing strikes and getting ahead of hitters in the seventh. If we do that, they will take advantage of it.” The Spartans collected just five hits, but Walker reached base twice, once by drawing a free pass. Gerny called the seniorto-be a “middle infielder [and] pitcher who we need to step up next year.” *** Oak Lawn completed its stay at Richards by getting tagged with a 13-3 setback by TF South on Saturday. The Spartans were within 6-3 of the Rebels through five stanzas, but “then the wheels came off and we ended up getting blown out.” “Our mental approach was not very strong in this game,” Gerny

said. “We were not thinking ahead on defense, our at-bats weren’t productive except for one inning, and we just weren’t ‘up’ for the game.” Chris Donato pitched four innings and gave up three earned runs, but that was an improvement over his spring-season outing versus TF South. In that earlier contest, Dodato failed to register an out before being removed. Quillin and Witkowski both smacked doubles for Oak Lawn, which tallied all of its runs in the fifth, thanks in part to a brief bout of wildness by the Rebels’ hurler. “Those were the two sophomores that were major contributors [in the spring],” Gerny said of Quillin and Witkowski. “And it appears as though they are getting much better at a quick rate.” Through four games, Quillin leads the Spartans in hitting with a .546 average. Witkowski is batting .444, Dunne .385 and Swatek .364. SANDBURG The Eagles have a long diamond history with District 230 sister school Andrew, and during the spring campaign it was the Thunderbolts experiencing the latest feeling of achievement as they roughed up Sandburg. At that time, Eagles assistant coach Chuck Peters claimed Sandburg had displayed “zero energy” and “didn’t really fight” in a contest that ultimately favored Andrew by a slaughter-rule margin. Sandburg and the T’bolts reversed their respective roles last Wednesday, though, as the Eagles secured a 10-0 victory. Julian Gutierrez (two hits, three RBI, two runs), Jim Roche (two hits, hit by pitch, one run) and Dan Santiago (one hit, one walk, two steals) were the ringleaders of Sandburg’s attack, while Sean Leland, Chris Stearns, Ben Gresla and Alec Martinez joined forces on the hill to stymie Andrew. Martinez also shone on defense, where he made a diving stop in the infield on a ball headed up the middle. “The best thing we took from the game is defensively,” assistant coach George Fear said. “We looked very strong. We [also] battled through some [early] at-bats and were able to put the ball in play, and some good things happened.” Fear said the Eagles’ summer roster consists of “a lot of seniors who didn’t get much playing time [in the spring] and a lot of juniors. We’re throwing out a bunch of lineups all summer and see how they do.” Fear and the other Sandburg coaches certainly liked what they saw in the summer debut, but they don’t want satisfaction setting in too rapidly among the athletes. As a reminder, Fear said he points to the Eagles’ playoff loss to another district rival, Stagg. “I hope they’re not content with losing in the regional semifinal,” Fear said. “Hopefully, they’re taking it seriously [right now]. Summer is instructional, for sure, but the mantra is every day is a tryout.” CHICAGO CHRISTIAN Not much went wrong for the Knights in a 30-win spring season, but one misstep was taken against Palos Heights neighbor Shepard. Chicago Christian made amends for that earlier defeat by downing the Astros 9-1 last Tuesday. The triumph was one of three netted by the Knights in their opening week of summer play. They also topped Stagg (7-1) and Romeoville (11-4), but dropped a 13-3 verdict to Oak Forest. Even with the setback included, however, Christian assistant coach Alex Bolyanatz had no complaints about what he saw from the Knights, who are the only Class 2A member of the south suburban summer league. “Some of the schools we play are 4A schools, so that’s good for us,” Bolyanatz said. “We’re not seeing everyone they have, but they aren’t seeing all of our guys, either.” Varsity returnees Max Kerfin and Sean O’Meara have been Christian’s headliners thus far as they compiled respective batting averages of .667 and .538 through four games. Jack De Vries is hitting .500 and junior-to-be Drew Van Buren has posted a .545 on-base percentage. Mike Santarelli, Pat McCarthy, Ron Clark and Trevor Wolterink are other players who’ve caught Bolyanatz’s eye at one time or

another, the latter pair doing so on the mound. While there will be a veteran foundation off which to construct next spring’s squad, the Knights have to replace their entire 2013 infield. “That’s a gaping hole right now,” Bolyanatz said. “We have some infielders, but we’re not sure where they’ll fit in, so we’re seeing what people’s comfort level is. We’re trying to get a lot of guys in and out [of the lineup].” Bolyanatz admitted that younger players’ biggest adjustment is to the speed of the varsity game, but in Christian’s case, something else enters the equation. The Knights have had the greatest run of sustained success in school history during head coach Eric Brauer’s five-year tenure, which in 2013 included conference and regional championships in addition to the aforementioned 30 victories, and Bolyanatz said varsity newcomers are aware of what has recently transpired. “I think I see anxiety on some of the younger guys’ faces,” he said. “They’re feeling some pressure, which means they understand the reality here — that something’s at stake. We try to get the kids at the level where, when they get to the ballpark, they expect to win rather than just hope they do.” And while Bolyanatz understands that summertime play is a bit more relaxed in terms of the emphasis placed on contest outcomes, he said there remains a need for athletes to avoid taking any shortcuts. “We do feel we’re trying to build an attitude [about] still playing the game the right way,” Bolyanatz said. “There are points to be made, and I’m not afraid to make them.” SHEPARD The Astros’ loss to Christian was balanced out by an 11-4 thrashing of Tinley Park later on Tuesday. “We threw strikes, played defense, and we came out hitting,” Shepard coach Frank DiFoggio said. Five runs in the first inning certainly proved the latter point. Several players contributed to the Astros’ 10-hit attack, most notably Brett Smith, who homered, doubled and totaled three RBI. John Korbakes (two RBI) and Sam Hermanas both chipped in a pair of hits, Brendan Hermann stroked a two-run double, and Kevin Carmody and Ryan Eichwedel each delivered an RBI single. “These were the same group of kids [who played against the Knights], but they were nice and relaxed,” DiFoggio said. “We’re going to have our moments where we do some great things. “We have a very young group, only four seniors, but I like our group. We’re scrappy, we fight and we’ve got a little bit of talent, but it’s raw.” Hermann, Korbakes and David Atut shared the mound chores and needed only 83 pitches to finish off the Titans. The contest ended on a 2-5-4-1 putout. While things went smoothly for the Astros Tuesday night, the same wasn’t true during their afternoon outing, which DiFoggio said featured many of his younger charges sporting “that deer-inthe-headlights look.” Christian no doubt helped foster the sensation by tallying eight times in its initial plate appearance, a rally that was aided by three free passes and a hit batsman. “The one thing in both of our losses was we had a little bit of wildness,” DiFoggio said. Worse than that for Shepard was the premature departure of senior-to-be hurler Jake Hart, who exited after facing just four batters because his non-throwing shoulder popped out of place. DiFoggio thinks Hart may be done for the summer. “I knew something didn’t look right,” DiFoggio said. “That’s a huge loss.” Better news for the Astros was their ability to shake off the ill effects of that first-inning assault and compete with the Knights on even footing the remainder of the game. DiFoggio praised a number of performers, including Hermann (RBI single), Bobby Peterka, Ken Gorski (double), and relief pitchers Ben Meyer, Tyler Walters and Ricky Mundo. “It was the first time I went into battle with those guys,” DiFoggio said, “and they fought. It was a 1-1 ballgame the rest of the way.” *** Shepard fell a run short of TF South in eight innings on Fri(Continued on page 5)

Marist junior shortstop Brooke Wyderski batted .587 with 12 home runs, 64 RBI and 50 runs scored while slugging 1.025 and stealing 22 bases en route to being named The Regional News-The Reporter Softball Player of the Year.

FIRST TEAM BROOKE WYDERSKI, Marist, DH, Jr. • The area’s most explosive offensive player, Wyderski led the Lady RedHawks in almost every important offensive category while providing solid infield defense. She batted .587 with an on-base percentage of .621 and slugging percentage of 1.025. Wyderski racked up 71 hits in 36 games, slugged 12 homers and 11 doubles, totaled 64 RBI, scored 50 more runs herself, stole 22 bases and fanned just three times in 121 at-bats. Defensively, she was charged with only nine errors in 148 chances and credited with 75 putouts. Wyderski, an All-East Suburban Catholic Conference selection, has verbally committed to Loyola University. STEPHANIE BRAND, Shepard, P, Jr. • A big part of the Lady Astros’ successful 2013 season, Brand went 13-5 in the circle with 81 strikeouts and a 3.88 earned-run average in 120 innings. She issued only six free passes over that same span, and two of Brand’s losses came by one run. She also shone at the plate, where she batted .387 with 33 singles, 23 runs and 15 RBI. Brand threw a three-hitter with 10 strikeouts against Eisenhower and notched a pitching victory over Richards while also slugging a two-run homer. FRANCHESCA GRAFFEO, Shepard, INF, Sr. • The St. Xavier University-bound Graffeo was both a defensive anchor and big-time offensive threat for the Lady Astros. She batted .476 with 49 hits, 17 doubles, 39 runs, 38 RBI and 21 walks in 2013, and finished her career with a .400 average, 70 runs, 69 RBI, 44 doubles and a .892 fielding percentage. An All-South Suburban Conference Red pick each of the past two seasons, Graffeo has been selected to represent the U.S. National Prospect team and play in Italy as a United State ambassador. Shepard’s Female Athlete of the Year also boasted a 3.9 grade-point average. Singlegame highlights included a 5-for-5 display versus Richards, a 4-for-4 effort against Queen of Peace, and hitting for the cycle while going 5-for-6 with six RBI and five runs versus Oak Lawn. DEVINA GUITIERREZ, Chicago Christian, P, Fr. • In her inaugural prep season, Gutierrez immediately became a stabilizing force for the Lady Knights as she compiled a 19-9 record and 3.12 ERA in 170 1/3 innings pitched, struck out 156 and walked just 43. During one week in April, Gutierrez went 4-0 while averaging 10 strikeouts per contest and did not give up any free passes in the final three games. She also fanned 13 in a win over Rosary. Offensively, Gutierrez batted .398 with 22 RBI and was a perfect 11-of-11 in stolen bases. Single-game hitting highlights included a 4-for-4, four-RBI effort against Walther Lutheran and a three-hit, four-RBI showing in Chicago Christian’s regional-championship triumph over Illiana Christian. SARAH HEROLD, Sandburg, P, Sr. • One of the big reasons for Sandburg’s berth in the Class 4A Elite Eight, Herold posted 13 wins, whiffed 166 batters and finished with a 3.53 ERA. Her finest displays in the circle included an 11-strikeout one-hitter versus Bolingbrook and 12-strikeout, four-hit outing against Plainfield East. Herold was also a capable offensive player, as evidenced by her three-hit, three-RBI, threerun performance opposite Homewood-Flossmoor. CANDICE KOCH, Sandburg, INF, Sr. • Providing vital offense and solid defense for the supersectional-qualifying Lady Eagles, Koch’s contributions were invaluable. She hit .405 with a .449 on-base percentage, 38 RBI, 20 doubles, five homers and a .922 fielding percentage. Her 4-for-4 performance that included two doubles and three RBI helped Sandburg defeat Oak Forest, and Koch also produced memorable outings in wins over Lincoln-Way East (two homers, four RBI) and Lake Park (game-winning three-run homer in the ninth inning). KATIE KRZUS, Sandburg, OF, So. • After playing shortstop on the Lady Eagles freshman team, Krzus made a successful adjustment to left field and helped Sandburg post a 24-15 record, plus gain regional and sectional championships. She finished with a .385 average, 41 RBI, nine homers, a .446 on-base percentage and .959 fielding percentage. Among Krzus’ top individual performances was a three-hit, five-RBI, four-run exhibition versus Joliet Central. HALEY RICHY, Marist, INF, Sr. • Committed to St. Ambrose University, Richy was stellar on both offense and defense for the 27-10 Lady RedHawks. She batted .336 with 39 hits, 33 RBI, four homers and a .483 slugging percentage. Richy also registered 191 putouts while making only three errors, which translated into a crisp .985 fielding percentage. BETHANY SALAZAR, Evergreen Park, OF, Fr. • One of the area’s rising young players, Salazar played a huge part in the Lady Mustangs’ 14-13 season that included the winning of a regional title. Evergreen Park’s leadoff hitter batted .572 with 37 RBI, 26 runs, 12 doubles and eight homers. Salazar also spent some time at first base and as a pitcher. Notable offensive moments included a three-hit, three-RBI effort in the Lady Mustangs’ 10-9 victory over Lincoln-Way West and a 3-for-3, one-RBI performance in a win over Mt. Assisi that sealed Evergreen’s regional championship. DOMINIQUE TANCHEZ, Shepard, C, Sr. • Following a less-than-stellar junior season after transferring to Shepard from Eisenhower, Tanchez convincingly showed what she was capable of for the 23-9 Lady Astros with her bat and behind the dish. She finished with a hefty .513 batting average and delivered several game-winning hits. Tanchez swatted six homers and nine doubles, drove in 39 runs and tallied 18 herself. The Millikin University-bound catcher carefully guided starting pitchers Stephanie Brand and Melissa Kelly while throwing out 15 would-be base stealers and allowing just three passed balls. Tanchez belted a pair of homers against Oak Lawn during the season and had four RBI in Shepard’s regional victory over Kennedy. SARA TOBIN, Richards, OF, Jr. • A potent leadoff hitter for the Lady Bulldogs, Tobin recorded 14 multiple-hit games and finished (Continued on page 4)

Court still appeals to MJ 2013 All-Area Softball Team Bartosh Be like Mike? On the court, of course. In a court? Thanks, I’ll pass. Michael Jordan carved out a Hall of Fame NBA career and became his sport’s most transcendent figure by employing a hellbent-for-leather style of play. Sure, there was a gracefulness to what he did with a basketball in his hands, but what is most remembered about MJ was his ferociously competitive nature. Jordan simply didn’t want to lose, even though that happened a number of times through the first six years of his pro career, when the Detroit Pistons often stood in his way. That demon was finally exorcised in 1991, and Jordan’s Bulls went on to capture six titles in an eightyear span. Wanting to be the absolute best, and stopping at nothing to make that happen, was the ultimate testimony to Jordan’s greatness. But long after the ball stopped bouncing and with the string of championships now representing a storied past rather than a glorious present, Jordan refuses to let go. Even though there’s been absolutely nothing for him to prove for the better part of nearly two decades, MJ continues to have a chip on his shoulder. His attitude reminds me of those old battery commercials featuring actor Robert Conrad, who would place the product on his shoulder and dare viewers to knock it off. Those ads, of course, were done as a spoof, as they played off the tough-guy persona Conrad had created in various roles. But when Jordan, while delivering his Hall of Fame speech in 2009, basically called out various people he felt had slighted him even the tiniest bit at some juncture of his NBA career, it wasn’t fun or amusing. It was petty. However, as it turned out, that was only the tip of the iceberg. Jordan is still at it, this time with corporate America squarely in his sights. Certainly, MJ should love the business world, seeing as how he’s made hundreds of millions of dollars off it by hawking a variety of its goods, but not all companies are his pals. That doesn’t mean he is immune to wanting money from

them, though. And that’s exactly what Jordan is attempting to extract from Dominick’s. He is suing the grocery-store giant for $5 million for unauthorized use of his identity in ads. The irony is Dominick’s incurred Jordan’s wrath while it was congratulating him in print on his induction into the Hall of Fame, but that’s not how he and his attorneys see things. According to a story appearing on the NBCchicago.com website, Jordan and his lawyers allege that the advertisement wasn’t only about “respectful praise,” but a “sneaky attempt” at associating MJ with their products. Jordan had also brought a suit against Jewel-Osco in 2009 for the same kind of thing. JewelOsco’s congratulatory ad featured a pair of red-and-white sneakers with the number 23 on the tongue and a message above the shoes that hailed the “fellow Chicagoan who was ‘just around the corner’ for so many years. “Just around the corner” was used in a Jewel-Osco slogan. Jordan’s lawsuit alleged that the shoes in the ad were “an inaccurate and misleading copy of Air Jordan basketball shoes” and stated that Jewel-Osco never received Jordan’s permission to use his identity or imply his endorsement with the goods and services offered by the chain. That case has since gone against Jordan, as a U.S. District judge said Jewel-Osco was practicing “noncommercial speech” and protected by the First Amendment. MJ, however, filed an appeal last fall. As for Dominick’s, it referred to Jordan as “a cut above” in its message to Michael and also featured a photograph of a steak. At the bottom of the full-page ad was a coupon for a Rancher’s Reserve steak, which is a trademarked name of Dominick’s parent company, Safeway. The complaint here, according to a story that appeared in the Chicago Tribune, is that Jordan already has his name associated with two steakhouses and an online steak company. Therefore, there is absolutely no possibility of him green-lighting Dominick’s use of anything connected with him to sell its steaks. Granted, it was a risky move for Dominick’s to include a coupon, even though it never implied Jordan was associ-

ated with Rancher’s Reserve. However, isn’t it just possible the company was unaware of Jordan’s specific affiliation with other steaks? Honestly, I never knew about it, and I’m willing to bet most other people had no knowledge of it, either. Heck, the last time I was paying close attention to Jordan, he was playing a game of horse with Larry Bird and trying to win a lunch from McDonald’s. Interestingly, the judge who is hearing the case against Dominick’s evidently chastised Jordan for being greedy. Hopefully, that will be given serious consideration prior to the rendering of a verdict. I understand why Jordan is protective of his name and would be upset by any unlicensed usage of it, but this seems to be something of a stretch. If either grocery chain had been habitual in trading on Jordan’s notoriety, by all means cut it down to size in the manner that stings the most. But come on, they were merely praising the guy. The disagreement with Jewel-Osco seemed especially ridiculous, seeing as there was no specific item being promoted in the congratulatory ad, no picture of Jordan and no claim that he was in any way a spokesman for the company. Has MJ never set foot inside of a Jewel-Osco? If he has and he purchased something, couldn’t that be viewed as an endorsement of sorts? And speaking of feet, were Jordan and his legal team serious when they referred to the “inaccurate and misleading copy of Air Jordan basketball shoes” in the suit? Even an imbecile wouldn’t have mistaken the shoes that were shown for the real thing. Dominick’s unquestionably erred, but Air Jordan has also erred if he thinks $5 million worth of damage was done to his reputation. Truth is, he’s doing more harm to it himself by continuing this fight. Jordan is 50 years old now. He just got remarried, so perhaps he should think about settling down and starting to ease his way into life’s slow lane. Stop searching for new challenges, Mike, because one of these days you might not like the outcome very much.

(Continued from page 3) with an SSC Red-leading .416 average. Other notable numbers included a .443 on-base percentage, 35 hits, 36 runs, 19 RBI, 10 stolen bases and only five strikeouts in 101 at-bats. Richards’ team captain and SSC Red Player of the Year runner-up went 5-for-5 against Shepard to ensure the Lady Bulldogs of at least a conference championship share and then scored three runs in a win over Evergreen Park that nailed down Richards’ third consecutive outright crown. Tobin handled 34 fielding chances without a single miscue and did not give up an earned run in three innings of pitching. To round out her impressive resume, Tobin carried a GPA significantly above 4.0. STEPHANIE WALLER, Richards, P, Sr. * A solid mound presence for the Lady Bulldogs, Waller posted an 11-8 record with a 2.87 ERA and 120 strikeouts in 119 2/3 innings. She fired two no-hitters against Reavis. Waller, an All-SSC Red selection, will attend the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater on a softball scholarship. EMILY WETZEL, Richards, INF, So. • Securing All-SSC Red honors for the second year a row, Wetzel was an offensive igniter for the 20-10 Lady Bulldogs as she paced them in triples (five) while ranking second in average (.409), RBI (28) and doubles (11). Academically, she was named an NCFS Scholar Athlete for the second time by maintaining a GPA above 3.5. Wetzel had two hits and two RBI for Richards in a regularseason meeting with eventual Class 3A state champion Tinley Park.

SECOND TEAM JESSICA ALBERTS, Mother McAuley, P, Jr. • A solid hurler and major part of the Mighty Macs’ 19-6 season, Albert came up big in many key games. She struck out nine in a 12-1 victory over Regina, threw a three-hitter with 14 strikeouts in a 2-0 triumph over Loyola Academy, went the distance in defeating Marian Catholic and fanned seven in a regional win over Washington. MEGAN BUSH, Mother McAuley, OF, Sr. • A strong offensive threat for the Mighty Macs, Bush finished with a .453 average, .517 on-base percentage and .679 slugging percentage. She drove in 16 runs and racked up nine doubles. One of Bush’s better games was against Trinity, which was victimized for three hits and two RBI. KATIE CAULFIELD, Marist, INF, Sr. • The Illinois Wesleyan University recruit batted .356 while whiffing just seven times in 118 at-bats. Caulfield collected 42 hits — including 12 doubles and two homers — scored 24 runs, drove in 20 and amassed a .508 slugging percentage. On defense, she was charged with just six errors in 101 chances, giving her a healthy .941 fielding percentage. Caulfield recorded four-hit performances versus both Oak Forest and Conant. TERRI DEARTH, Mt. Assisi, P, Jr. • Dearth pitched in eight games and posted a 4-to-1 strikeouts-to-walks ratio (40-10) while leading the Screeching Eagles to a regional-championship contest. She yielded just one homer all season. In addition, Dearth set up behind the plate five times and made 31 putouts. On offense, she batted .460 with respective on-base and slugging percentages of .480 and .553. ELLIE FORKIN, Sandburg, C, Sr. • Demonstrating leadership ability, Forkin took to that role naturally and played a big part in the Lady Eagles’ run to the Class 4A Elite Eight. She batted .410 with five homers, 28 RBI and a .480 on-base percentage, and finished with a .988 fielding percentage while handling Sarah Herold and the Sandburg pitching staff. Forkin had her biggest games against Homewood Flossmoor (two two-run homers) and Lincoln-Way Central (3-for-4 with a homer in one contest, a two-run homer in another one). MEGAN GLYNN, Chicago Christian, DH, Sr. • Glynn provided solid offense and defense for the regional-champion Lady Knights, for whom she hit a team-best .488 with 10 doubles, 24 RBI and a .607 slugging percentage. Her RBI total was the second-highest amount among Chicago Christian players. Glynn had two hits and four RBI in the Lady Knights’ title-clinching regional win over Illiana Christian and went 3-for-4 with three RBI versus Reavis in another contest. BREANNA KAMINSKI, Richards, INF, Sr. • An All-SSC Red choice for the second straight year, Kaminski batted .348 for the Lady Bulldogs and led them with 31 RBI and two homers. She also clubbed nine doubles. Game highlights included a 4-for-4 showing against T.F. South, three hits with a homer and four RBI versus Riverside-Brookfield, and a go-ahead two-run dinger in what became a victory over Shepard. MADISON NAUJOKAS, Marist, INF, Fr. • Posting numbers often reserved for upperclassmen, Naujokas excelled both offensively and defensive for the Lady RedHawks. She batted .394 and fanned only nine times in 99 at-bats while collecting 39 hits, including 10 of the extra-base variety. Naujokas scored 25 runs, drove in 14, compiled a slugging percentage of .545 and was 11-of-12 in stolen bases. On defense, she racked up 76 putouts and 73 assists with just two errors for a .987 fielding percentage. VICTORIA NEMEC, Richards, P, Jr. • A big plus for the Lady Bulldogs’ pitching corps, Nemec went 9-2 while throwing only 79 innings. She struck out 55 batters over that stretch and logged a sparkling 1.98 ERA. MOLLY POHRBNY, Richards, C/DH, Jr. • An All-SSC Red selection for the past two seasons, Pohrbny batted .375 with 20 RBI, a teamhigh 14 doubles and .568 slugging percentage. She went 4-for-4 with a homer and three RBI against Shepard, and drove in the go-ahead run against Evergreen Park that sealed a third consecutive outright conference title for Richards. ASHLEY QUINLAN, Chicago Christian, INF, Sr. • One of the Lady Knights’ primary offensive weapons, Quinlan finished third on the squad with a .394 average. A team-best four homers were featured among her 39 hits, and she drove in 29 runs while amassing a .576 slugging percentage. Quinlan went 3-for-5 with three RBI in a Chicago Christian victory over Marian Central and 3-for-5 with four RBI against Timothy Christian. JASMINE RAMIREZ, Queen of Peace, OF, Sr. • A standout player for the Pride, Ramirez batted .380 with a .417 on-base percentage and.658 slugging percentage in 25 games. She belted eight doubles and four homers, knocked in 19 runs, tallied 17 and struck out only 11 times in 79 at-bats. High points this season included swatting a three-run homer against Immaculate Conception and producing four RBI versus Regina. She also went deep in that latter game. MADDIE VOJACEK, Evergreen Park, P, Fr. • Vojacek arrived in midseason and played a big part in the Lady Mustangs’ playoff run. Appearing in five games, she won four of them, her only defeat coming against eventual conference champ Richards, which managed just two earned runs and five hits over seven innings. In all, Vojacek threw 34 innings, fanned 22, walked nine and posted a 1.43 ERA.

COACH OF THE YEAR JIM FABIANSKI, Sandburg • While perhaps not as metaphorical and inspirational as Marist coach Denise Bromberek’s chapel-motivated speech to her Lady RedHawks last season, Fabianski communicated to his Lady Eagles — at the time two games below .500 — to think hard about what kind of softball legacy they wanted to leave at Sandburg. The Lady Eagles responded to the prompting by winning nine of their final 11 regular-season games and stunning defending state champion Marist to capture a sectional crown, which placed them among the Elite Eight in Class 4A.

Summer Baseball (Continued from page 3) day at the Reavis Wooden Bat Tournament, but the Astros’ 109 defeat had some definite high points. One was Shepard’s ability to force extra frames, as it trailed 9-4 entering the bottom of the seventh. In that inning, three sophomores-to-be reached base and were driven home on Kevin Knoerzer’s double. Smith lofted a sacrifice fly and a Rebels error allowed the tying marker to cross the plate. “We’re playing with a bunch of babies,” DiFoggio said, “and we played a nice little ballgame. I really like what I see. We’re putting the ball in play and we’re not afraid — that’s the big thing. “In high school baseball games, other teams don’t [usually] beat you. You most often beat yourself.” Mundo and Smith (three strikeouts in one inning) gave the Astros more solid pitching, but there were also some struggles on the hill. That was evidenced by Shepard’s throwing of 192 pitches and issuance of 10 walks, six of which resulted in TF South runs. Bringing home three of the Astros’ earlier runs were Peterka (two-RBI single) and Carmody (single). A double steal led to the fourth tally. RICHARDS The Bulldogs were playing their best baseball of the spring at the end of the season, and momentum from that late surge carried over into early summer as they went 5-0 last week. Richards outscored its foes by a combined 56-20 score and piled up double-digit runs in four of those games. Perhaps its most impressive exhibition came against St. Charles East on Friday. The Fighting Saints were third in Class 4A during the spring, but they were no match for the Bulldogs here as they suffered a 13-5 setback at Richards’ weekend tournament. The ’Dogs tallied in every inning but the first and knocked out 16 hits. Six players produced multiplehit efforts, with all-area catcher Charlie Zeschke and Shawn Chiaramonte leading the onslaught with three apiece. Both players were credited with two RBI, and Zeschke also scored a run. Eric Mallo (three runs, one RBI), Chris Zeschke (two runs, one RBI), Noel Castro (two runs) and Kyle Garrett (one RBI) all supplied two hits. “I like the fact we’re getting production one through nine [in the order] instead of just one through five,” Richards coach Brian Wujcik said. “We’re not in a situation where it’s eight outs and then Charlie, so it gives us some nice options. “We’re not a very big team. We don’t have the same size we had in the spring, but we’re hitting line drives everywhere. I’m happy with all factors — we’re hitting the ball, we’re playing [good] defense and we’re throwing strikes.” The Bulldogs broke things open versus St. Charles East by erupting for four runs in both the sixth and seventh stanzas. A Saints error and wild pitch boosted Richards, but Charlie Zeschke (tworun double), Mallo (single), Dan Estrella (sacrifice fly) and Brett Thomas (bases-loaded walk) also contributed to the rallies. Chiaramonte (two-run double, sacrifice fly), Garrett (RBI single) and Chris Zeschke (sacrifice fly) spearheaded the Bulldogs’ earlier rounds of noisemaking. Also on Friday, Richards continually responded to uprisings by St. Ignatius and eventually pocketed a 12-6 win. The ’Dogs expunged a 6-all tie by plating six runs in the fifth, a blitz fueled by Garrett’s two-run double and Nick Majia’s RBI two-bagger, plus Mallo’s suicide squeeze and later steal of home. Also recording RBI for Richards in the contest were Charlie Zeschke (double), Estrella (double), Chiaramonte (single) and Castro (groundout). Chiaramonte, Estrella, Garrett and Mallo all finished with a couple of hits. Thomas earned the pitching triumph with four innings of three-hit relief. *** The Bulldogs wrapped up tourney play on Saturday by blasting TF South 11-4 behind a 15-hit attack. Estrella (three hits, three runs, two RBI), A.J. Sanchez (two hits, three RBI, one run) Castro (two hits, three RBI), Chiaramonte (two hits, two RBI, two runs), Charlie Zeschke (two hits, three runs) and Mallo (two hits, one run) all made their presences felt on Richards’ behalf. Once again, the Bulldogs spread out their scoring. Richards tallied at least two runs in four of its plate appearances. “A lot of times in the spring, we were a one-inning team,” Wujcik said. Chris Zeschke pitched four innings and struck out five to gain the win. *** Richards got its summer sched-

ule underway by sweeping a Thursday doubleheader from Evergreen Park, 8-4 and 12-1. Nate Natividad, a part-time player in the spring, ignited the Bulldogs’ offense by going 5-for-5 with seven RBI over the two games. “He’s going to be valuable to us next year because he can play three infield positions,” Wujcik said of Natividad. All three of Natividad’s Game 1 hits went for two bases, and Sanchez added two doubles of his own to the cause while knocking in a pair of runs and tallying once. Majia chipped in two hits, an RBI and one run for Richards, which scored six of its markers in the second inning after two batters had been retired. “With these guys, there’s a little bit of a sense of business to take care of,” Wujcik said. “They’re applying what they’ve learned and there’s not as much starting over as in some other summers. They’re ready to play and they’re playing the game very smart.” Backed by 10-hit support, Andrew Schramm was able to bag a pitching win as he scattered five hits and fanned three over 4 2/3 innings. Charlie Zeschke (two hits, two runs, one RBI) joined Natividad at the two-hit plateau in the second contest, and the Bulldogs left the Mustangs in the dust by exploding for 10 runs in the third frame. Natividad had both of his hits — one of them went for a double — and all four of his RBI during the rally, while six other Richards players chased in one teammate. Chris Lovetere (single) and Adrian Garcia (groundout) accounted for the Bulldogs’ first two RBI in the second inning. Eric Ruge was the victorious pitcher. EVERGREEN PARK While the Mustangs couldn’t knock off their South Suburban Conference Red neighbor last week, they did find success against De La Salle, which was dispatched 5-3 behind two-hit performances from Mark Martin and Corey Miller. Tim Walsh added an RBI, and Frank Meisl and Aaron Green Van Zee teamed up on the mound to hold the Meteors’ sticks in check. While the week was only a partial success for Evergreen Park, assistant coach Jason Dunneback noticed a distinct difference in players’ approaches compared to summers past. “They’re all jacked up right now,” Dunneback said. “I’ve been here nine years, and at the end of the spring, it’s [typically] like, ‘OK, we’ll move on to football,’ but a lot of kids are now doing both. Winning brings out the best in them.” Winning is something the Mustangs did a fair amount of over the last two-thirds of the spring campaign. Although Evergreen’s ledger stood only one game over .500 at the end, its won three times in the postseason and reached a sectional final for the first time in school history. The Mustangs’ Class 3A regional crown was the first one for the baseball program in 55 years. “One of the biggest things I see from the spring is that they’re in the weight room [already] and they’re doing things on their own,” Dunneback said of Evergreen athletes. Martin, Brendan Walsh and Miller all performed well against Richards, and Dunneback felt pitcher David Ziebarth was decent in his first prolonged outing. That, Dunneback says, is something all players must adjust to, as they become a more integral part of the program. “We have a lot of new kids coming in and they need to see how it feels,” he said. “This is new. You haven’t been on the mound for six innings, but when you’re a junior who’s going to be a senior, you have to expect to pitch more than two innings. “I want to see progress made [this summer].” STAGG The Chargers did not triumph in three tries last week, but only a 7-1 loss to Chicago Christian ranked as a disappointment. That Monday clash tilted the Knights’ way when they scored five times in the fifth inning. In response, Stagg managed only four hits and plated its lone run on Tim Gambil’s sacrifice fly. “I think it’s going to be a similar team to what we’ve had [of late],” Chargers coach Matt O’Neill said. “We’re not going to score a lot of runs, so we’re going to have to catch the ball and pitch [well].” Four juniors-to-be toed the rubber for Stagg, with Connor Bartle cited as the most impressive member of the quartet. While the Chargers will benefit from the return of all-area honorable mention Max Strus and junior-to-be Jeff Goral on the hill, more than a 1-2 punch will be required to keep Stagg afloat after it moves into the SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue for the 201314 school year. “We’ve got Strus and Goral back, then a bunch of unknowns after them,” O’Neill said. “We definitely have to have a couple of guys step up, kind of like Goral, and to some extent Strus, did.” Two pitchers did exactly that

Thursday, June 20, 2013 Section 2 on Thursday, as the Chargers limited Lemont to one run. However, the combined four-hitter tossed by Brendon Kivlehan and Kenon Kizlaitis went for naught as Stagg was unable to reach the scoreboard itself in a 1-0 final. Kris Swanson and Jake Wimmer each stroked two hits for the Chargers, who totaled seven hits in all. *** C.J. Casey made an early bid for consideration as a go-to hurler by holding Lincoln-Way East to one hit over three innings last Wednesday. He whiffed three and walked only one, and what made Casey’s performance notable was that the Griffins wound up plating eight runs on the day and beating Stagg by one. “He’s kind of a wild card for us,” O’Neill said of Casey. “He could be in the mix as a No. 3 guy for us, and he’s going to get every opportunity [to do it].” As for the Chargers’ offense, it, too, exhibited positive signs. Stagg knocked out a baker’s dozen worth of hits and racked up multiplerun innings in both the first (two runs) and third (fourth). Brett Stratinsky was the Chargers’ main man with two doubles and three RBI, but Jack Duffner (one hit, two RBI) and Drew Bolero (RBI groundout) further aided the cause. Stagg, which also picked up a sixth-inning run via a balk, was ahead 7-3, but Lincoln-Way East pulled even in the bottom of the sixth and then pushed across the deciding run one stanza later on a sacrifice fly. Although O’Neill obviously would have preferred a better outcome for his club, he thought the contest was still beneficial. “It’s good to be in those kinds of games and good to see where guys are at mentally [and if] they know what to do,” O’Neill said. “That’s kind of what summer is all about for me -- how they’re going to react to situations.” BROTHER RICE A 1-3 start to the summer for the Crusaders was a bit deceiving because they could have just as easily gone unbeaten as all three of their defeats were one-run verdicts. De La Salle (3-2), St. Laurence (4-3) and St. Rita (4-3) each beat Brother Rice, while Marist was saddled with a 5-3 setback. Crusaders coach John McCarthy was satisfied with squad’s overall play and unfazed by the relative lack of batting punch, insisting that Rice’s “hitting will improve.” “The biggest thing is having a good approach and knowing what you’re doing,” he said. “We should be tough to beat [in the future] because whenever you have that, you don’t beat yourself. [The low scores] were also a tribute to our arms and defense.” While the Crusaders’ 2014 spring team will feature key veterans such as all-area selections Kevin Biondic and Brian Musielak, Kevin Sullivan and Ian McGuinness, and is well fortified in most areas, McCarthy is still viewing summer ball as a trial period. And in his opinion, nailbiters like the ones in which Rice engaged last week should speed up player development. “I loved it because you can see how guys respond in pressure situations, especially the young guys,” McCarthy said. “We have a lot of solid guys, but we’ll see who wants to earn a spot in the spring and what they will do to get it. Everybody’s still battling for a job. “We have a lot of returners and we’re feeling good, but all that really doesn’t mean much unless you go out and play with intensity. The talent in the area’s too good to not do that. Our [seniors-to-be] have to make those steps leadership-wise and know how to get the most out of those younger guys and themselves. “We have to take the next step as a program — if we don’t, we’re going to get passed by. That’s just the way it is.”

Nicholas Hoult (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Warm Bodiesâ&#x20AC;?) plays courageous Jack, who ascends into a world of literal giants â&#x20AC;&#x201D; led by Bill Nighy, as one of the two-headed variety â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to rescue a captured princess (Eleanor Tomlinson). Stanley Tucci and Ewan McGregor also star as the heroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principal allies. DVD extras: deleted scenes; outtakes. *** (PG-13: P, V) (Also on Bluray and On Demand) â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x153;QUARTETâ&#x20AC;?: With an acting career packed with numerous achievements including two Oscars, Dustin Hoffman tackled directing a feature film with this wonderfully acted drama about sudden upheaval in a retirement home for musicians. The arrival of the newest resident (Maggie Smith) shakes things up for her ex-husband (Tom Courtenay) and their former professional partners (Billy Connolly, Pauline Collins). An imminent concert may or may not lead differences among them to be patched up. DVD extras: â&#x20AC;&#x153;making-ofâ&#x20AC;? documentaries; audio commentary by Hoffman. *** (PG-13: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand) â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x153;21 & OVERâ&#x20AC;?: If this comedy seems like a younger take on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hangover,â&#x20AC;? it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a surprise to learn that filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jon Lucas and Scott Moore â&#x20AC;&#x201D; wrote and directed this one. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the familiar-feeling but still-funny story of a student (Justin Chon) whose 21st birthday happens to fall on the eve of an important interview he has ... which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter in the slightest to his best friends (Miles Teller, the pictureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear show stealer, and Skylar Astin), who spirit him away for a wild night. *** (R: AS, N, P) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand) â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE LAST EXORCISM PART IIâ&#x20AC;?: So, this now makes the preceding movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Nextto-Last Exorcismâ&#x20AC;?? Ashley Bell is back as the woman who needed the devil driven out of her last time ... and since thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sequel, you can guess that effort wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t completely successful. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to get her emotional traction back at a group home, meaning others also are in easy reach of peril when Satan comes calling again. DVD extras: three â&#x20AC;&#x153;making-ofâ&#x20AC;? documentaries; audio commentary by director Ed Gass-Donnelly and producer Eli Roth. ** (Not rated: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand) â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x153;STOKERâ&#x20AC;?: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the se-

cret of Uncle Charlie (Matthew Goode)? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revealed slowly and eerily to the mother and daughter (Nicole Kidman, Mia Wasikowska) who welcome him into their home, then have cause to wonder if that was a smart move, in this intriguing tale from director Park Chanwook (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oldboyâ&#x20AC;?). The women are recovering from the loss of the man (Dermot Mulroney) in their family, but it soon becomes clear Charlie may be far from the ideal replacement. Jacki Weaver (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Silver Linings Playbookâ&#x20AC;?) also appears. *** (R: AS, V) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand) â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x153;DROP DEAD DIVA: THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASONâ&#x20AC;?: This almost became the final season of the series, but it got a reprieve that is seeing its next round about to start on Lifetime. Here, Jane (Brooke Elliott) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the attorney whose body houses the spirit of a deceased model â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is enmeshed in new sets of problems both earthly and otherworldly, some involving a potential change in her marital status. The show always has landed familiar guest stars, and among those here are Valerie Harper, Joan Rivers, Patty Duke, Kelly Osbourne, Nancy Grace and tennis icon Serena Williams. DVD extras: outtakes, deleted scenes. *** (Not rated: AS, P) â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; COMING SOON: â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE CALLâ&#x20AC;? (June 25): A 911 operator (Halle Berry) tries to save a teen (Abigail Breslin) who calls for help after being kidnapped and locked in a car trunk.

â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pain is not the enemy. It is a signal that there is something wrong in the body.â&#x20AC;? When talking about being a Chiropractic Physician in Illinois with Dr. Linda Ehlers, Hickory Hills, you get the impression that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather teach you about being healthy and out of pain than just about anything else. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are really lucky to have so many options to treat pain, especially chronic painâ&#x20AC;?, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; The use of over-the-counter medicines like aspirin, ibuprofen (e.g., Advil, Motrin, Midol) or acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) is well known to help relieve pain. But, when these OTCs are overused or abused then can cause serious medical issues. There are serious gastrointestinal side-effects from aspirin; the second biggest cause of kidney failure is overuse of ibuprofen; and acetaminophen can cause liver failure. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; One average adult aspirin will cause about 1 teaspoon of blood to bleed out in the gastrointestinal tract. There are about 800 deaths per year from aspirin. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; The NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) ibuprofen also causes GI bleeding. One in five consumers using 1,600 mg per day will have marked blood loss and GI problems. That rises to one out of every four when one uses 2,400 mg per day. [http://www.drugs.com/sfx/ ibuprofen-side-effects.html] â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; Acetaminophen, on the other hand, can cause severe liver damage if an adult takes more than 12 tablets in 24 hours, which is the maximum daily amount, or a child takes more than 5 doses in 24 hours. [http://www.drugs. com/pro/acetaminophen-tablet. html] â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; Natural health care doctors, while often advising patients to use these OTCs for the shortterm, have an ever growing arsenal of non-addictive, safe pain relievers. Dr. Ehlers talked

about some of them. They include: â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; *Acupuncture. She started studying acupuncture in 1981, not long after President Nixon returned after opening the doors to more cultural exchange between our country and China. She was drawn to it because of its reputation for relieving pain. Because the treatment itself is pain-free itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to believe that it works. But it does and it does so very well. The use of acupuncture is now commonly accepted and many cancer treatment facilities use it, especially on their breast cancer patients. The Sloan-Kettering Institute in Massachusetts was the first to implement acupuncture for the pain from cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; *Cold lasers. These light tools, right out of a Star-Wars movie, penetrate deep through the skin into the muscles. When this happens the light stimulates the tiny energy organs in the muscle cells, called mitochondria. This helps these organs produce more energy for the cell. That gives it a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;second windâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to get back to being healthy and pain free. Lasers also promote healing. The lasers most commonly used in the treatments are red. But there are other colors in the laser field. The newest research is suggesting that blue lasers can kill MRSA, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;flesh-eating bacteriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Green lasers are also being researched. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; *Dural Sheath therapy. The dural sheath is the outer layer of tissue that surrounds the brain. Its job is to hold in place the cerebro-spinal fluid. There is about 8 ounces of this fluid and it is spread out over the whole of the brain and spinal cord. When the dural sheath gets even the slightest distortion in it this inhibits the smooth flow of fluid over the adjacent area. Emerging science indicates that these â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;foldsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; can cause neurological problems, including everything from migraines to foggy thinking to chronic pain syndromes.

â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; *Esterified Fatty Acid Complex. This compound is not to be confused with Essential Fatty Acids. The essential fatty acids, Omega3, -6, and -9 oils have excellent health benefits. The omega oils are well known for their beneficial effects on the body, especially for memory and the health of cell walls. The esterified fatty acid complex has a strong anti-inflammatory effect, particularly on the tissues in and around joints. The esterified fatty acid complex and the Omega oils have a complementary effect on the body and can be taken together without harm. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; *Neurological based therapy. The brain has sensors placed all over the body to tell it what is going on with its contact with the world around it. These sensors are called receptors and they carry messages about the environment up to the brain for interpretation and decision making. The brain needs to know what is going on all the time. Some estimates are that the brain receives and makes decisions about over 100,000 signals a second from the sphere around us. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; What many people do not know is that the receptors for pain (called small diameter afferents) are always firing a signal up to the brain. So why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we feel pain all the time? â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; Because of another set of sensors, the large diameter receptors, or LDAs. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; These sensors carry information about how we are interacting physically in our environment; things like touch, pressure and vibration on the skin. Their signals are sent up the back of the spinal cord to the brain at an astounding 270 mph! Think about how long it would take a stock car in a race to travel five or six feet moving at 270 mph. Pretty quick. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; The brain knows that information about the environment is more important than pain. It covers these LDA nerves in a special sheath, called the myelin sheath. It protects and insulates the LDAs. The small diameter pain

Dr. Linda Ehlers nerves do not have this protection or power to send messages as fast. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; With the environmental sensors a priority, the pain receptors simply cannot get their message into the brainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awareness. This is true as long as the LDAs are healthy and firing at a normal level. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; When someone has diabetes, an autoimmune condition, anemia, gut problems, or an infection this causes a breakdown of the myelin sheath. We now know that this is an underlying reason why many people have pain, especially chronic pain. This most often happens in the arms and feet and is called a neuropathy. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; *PRNT. PRNT, or Peripheral Nerve Rehabilitation Therapy, is the newest discovery to be added to the treatment arsenal of holistic physicians. This computer controlled approach is based on the normal hertz (HZ) signal of our nerves. These units work electronically to retrain the nerves that have degraded function to return to a normal HZ signal level. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this era of health care our ability to help these injured nerves heal is better than it has ever beenâ&#x20AC;?, says Dr. Ehlers. Of course, the difficulty for physicians is to untangle this complex set of causes and find the treatment path to a healthy and pain free life for their patients. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x153;As challenging as this isâ&#x20AC;?, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The joy of practice is seeing your patients get out of pain and get their lives back.â&#x20AC;?
